Intro: This is a total work of my imagination. Any resemblance to anyone on this planet is just your imagination. Yes, I have sisters. We never banged. You can't think I'd write something I could get sued over. Half siblings, Shelby (29) and Jason (27) have moved back in with their mother, Katherine (49). Jason and Donna have fallen in love, but what about Shelby?
*****
"I'm nervous about this, Jase. I don't want to piss her off."
"Well I'm not ready to lose her. I just fell in love with her. This is bullshit, not taking our calls and not returning texts." Jason said with anger in his voice and desperation in his heart.
In the two weeks since Anna's wedding, Donna has been withdrawn. She saw Jason and Shelby a few times but seemed distant and scared. Now the siblings have staked out a table beside the pool of the hotel that Donna helps manage. They have vowed to sit there until she comes to talk. They both love her and that's the problem.
Finally, Donna Smith emerged from the lobby of The Roadside Pioneer. She slowly and purposefully walked to the pool area. "I guess you two aren't going to leave until I come out here."
"Hey, baby. We just want to talk to you. We love you." Shelby pleaded. "Please sit a minute."
"Look, the fact that both of you love me and I love you is the problem. It's fucking with my head." Donna said fighting back tears that came anyway. "I can't do this here. I'll try to come over tonight or tomorrow night and we'll talk about this."
"Bullshit!" Jason surprised the girls with his forceful tone. Yet he was not loud. "Please don't make me pace the floor at home hoping. This is everything to me. I love you and I'll do whatever it takes to make this work. I've missed you like a lost limb all this week."
Tears streamed down Donna's face. Jason looked at Shelby and she was crying too. "You two calm down and get your shit together. Donna, we'll come to your apartment at seven tonight. We will make this work because love matters." Well, that got Jason's tears falling.
Donna heard his words and felt his heart. She looked up at him with the sparkle back in her eyes despite the tears. "You mean that, don't you?" Shelby squeezed her hand.
...
Jason and Shelby left the hotel when Donna was able to go back in.
"I know what is fucking with her head." Shelby said. "So, she comes over. Who does she sleep with? She won't sleep with me because of you. She won't sleep with you because of me."
"She has an apartment. She has her own place." Jason said.
"Look, you big dummy, it's the same, really. I go off with her, she thinks of you. If she goes off with you, she worries what it will do to me." Shelby lectured.
"She knows it's OK with me that you are lovers. And she knows you've been pushing us together for two months." Jason said.
"Who, me?" Shelby smiled. "I didn't think she would hang on to me like this. Love is very strong in this one, ass-hopper."
Jason rolled his eyes and sighed at Shelby trying to be funny while his heart hurt so much.
"We've just got to tell her." Shelby said flatly.
"Oh, fuck no. If she finds out we had sex, she'll freak the hell out and we'll never see her again."
"Maybe not. Then we could have it all. We could both openly love her. Imagine holding her in your arms while I pet her. It would be beautiful." Shelby the sales person.
"And what happens when I start petting you. She's going to freak. I tell you, she's too old-fashioned for that shit."
...
The siblings walked up the stairs to Donna's apartment. "This is a nice building. I don't know why she says she hates this place." Jason said.
"Bad memories and a few bad neighbors. She moved in here after her divorce. Some of the men around here were relentless. Thus, the birth of 'Bitch Donna'" Shelby told him.
"Two condemned for the hangman." Jason mused.
"Don't be so dramatic. I'm betting my love on this, too."
Donna answered the door in loose house clothes. "Hey, you two." She hugged each and then all in a group hug. "This would be easy if I didn't love you both. Come in. Sit."
Shelby started. "Look, I'll give you up, if you and Jason will be happy."
"I knew you were going to say that." Donna snapped. "It's not as easy as that."
"I know you want the family and the white picket fence." Shelby said.
"I know, I want kids. You think I prefer men, but I have really come to enjoy women. When Anna turned me on to it, it was just a way to find some comfort. I found out it's something special. I love you both. Jason are you strong enough to have a bisexual woman, even if she has a girlfriend?" Donna asked him.
"Yes, but only if it's all honest. I couldn't have someone cheat. Also, I'd do anything to have a woman like you in my life."
"See he's cool with you being with me." Shelby said, thinking it was settled.
"Well I'm sorry Shelly. It's still fucked up. I'd think of him with you and think of you when I'm with him. I did when we went to the wedding. I had the best day of my life, but you were in the back of my mind. And we can't be a triple because you two are siblings. It's fucked up." Donna teared up and dropped her head to her hands.
"We can be. It doesn't have to be fucked as bad as you think. It's just fucked up in a different way."
"Don't Shell. You can't. We'll work this out. There's a way. There must be. Please don't." Jason pleaded.
"What's he talking about? Don't what?" Donna asked
"Look, I love you. I know we just got started, but it's real. I've never known a woman like you. Just always know that I love you." Jason began to weep heavily and closed himself in the bathroom.
"Shell, what's wrong with him?" Donna asked concerned.
"He thinks he's about to lose you." Shelby said calmly but with tears running down her small face.
"He won't lose me if we can figure this out. He's the best guy I've ever met." Donna trembled.
"Baby, you have to listen and understand that all this is my fault. I'm too selfish. I wanted it all and no one can have it all. I love you and I love Jase and I wanted you two to be together. I just never thought it would come to this. You two are so perfect for each other. I'm so sorry, Baby. Please don't hate Jason."
"Shelby, what the fuck are you going on about? Calm down. Take a breath." Donna held her hands.
"I'm so sorry. It's my fault. I teased him and went naked in front of him. I showed my body and made him kiss me." Shelby could hardly speak for sobbing. "It was during a time when you and I weren't seeing each other. I kept teasing him and one day we got stoned and fucked. Jason and I had sex."
...
Donna found Jason reclining in her bathtub. He had rolled up a towel for a pillow and had a wet cloth over his eyes. "Get your stupid, hillbilly ass out of my tub and get in here. Big dumbass!" Donna stormed out of the bathroom.
Jason climbed out of the tub and slowly walked out the door like a man stepping into the gas chamber. He was ambushed at the door. Donna threw her arms around him and hugged and kissed him.
"Oh, tell him what you told me before drops dead." Shelby said from the sofa. Her eyes were red and swollen but she was smiling.
Donna was silent until she came back from the kitchen. She set the tequila bottle and a shot glass on the coffee table and sat in her favorite chair. She poured a modest ration and threw it back in one swallow. "OK for now you can't talk unless you take a shot first. That was mine. I'll start." Donna smiled at the incestuous duo. "I always assumed that you two had at least experimented with sex. God, look at the two of you. Jase you are gorgeous and Shell, you've got the hottest little ass I've ever seen"
Jason took a shot of tequila and sat back.
"Well, sir you have the floor." Shelby said.
"Oh, I just needed a drink." Jason said seriously. But the girls laughed loudly.
"Shelby if you were my sister, we'd be lovers if I had to force you. Jason if you were my brother, we'd probably have some twelve toed kids by now." Donna tried to console the two.
Shelby took a shot. "It's my fault. It just got to where I had to feel that big dick in me."
